FAUNA  OF  NEW  ENGLAND. 

The  Library  and  Publishing  Committee  will  issue,  as  volume 
seven  of  the  Occasional  Papers,  a  Catalogue  of  the  animals  of 
New  England. 

Parts  will  be  published  at  irregular  intervals,  and  though  the 
details  of  the  several  -  lists  will  vary  somewhat  in  the  different 
groups,  each  list  will  include,  1st,  the  accepted  name  (scientific 
and  vernacular);  2d,  reference  to  the  original  description,  with 
record  of  locality;  3d,  reference  to  an  authentic  description  and 
illustration,  and  4th,  habitat  and  occurrence. 

The  Committee  considers  these  lists  a  necessary  preliminary  to 
a  series  of  comprehensive,  illustrated  monographs,  the  publication 
of  which  it  is  hoped  the  Society  will  at  some  later  time  take  upon 
itself. 

The  Committee  also  believes  that  these  lists  will  aid  in  the 
accumulation  of  valuable  material  for  the  New  England  collection 
of  the  Society.  With  this  in  view  a  separate  check  list  of  names 
will  be  issued  with  each  part.  In  this  check  list  the  +  indicates 
a  specimen  in  the  Society's  Museum;  the  —  that  a  trustworthy 
record  exists. 

Toward  the  accomplishment  of  its  aims  the  Committee  invites 
the  cooperation  of  all  interested  in  the  Fauna  of  New  England. 

Communications  concerning  specimens  should  be  addressed  to 
the  CURATOR  of  the  Society  (Chas.  W.  Johnson),  notes  and 
records  of  occurrence  to  the  EDITOR  of  the  "Fauna  of  New 
England"  (Samuel  Henshaw).
